The picture shows French President Macron

France may be angry and busy these two days, with constant diplomatic turmoil.

Just because of the Ukrainian issue andItalyThe quarrel was followed by a confrontation with the U.S. ambassador over anti-Semitic accusations. French President Macron is the protagonist in two diplomatic disputes.

According to CCTV news reports, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 24th that it would summon U.S. Ambassador to France Kushner in response to his letter to Macron accusing France of failing to crack down on anti-Semitic activities.

Some commentators believe that Italy and the United States are competing against France, making the contradiction public and once again exposing the serious differences within the West on the Ukraine crisis and the Palestinian-Israeli issue.

On the 24th, Kushner published in the Wall Street Journal a letter to Macron on the 25th.

In the letter, Kushner accused France of ¡°insufficient efforts¡± to curb anti-Semitic violence, urging Macron to tighten enforcement of hate crime-related laws and reduce criticism of Israel.

He also noted that the French government¡¯s remarks about recognizing a Palestinian state have objectively fostered anti-Semitism and violence.

After the letter was made public, it triggered a strong reaction in Paris.

The French Foreign Ministry subsequently issued a statement firmly rejecting the allegations, calling them ¡°unacceptable.¡±

The statement also said that Kushner's remarks violated international law, particularly the obligation not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries under the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, and were "inconsistent with the quality of legitimate transatlantic relations between the United States and the trust that should be expected among allies."

The French Foreign Ministry has announced that it is scheduled to summon Cushner on the 25th.The summoning of the ambassador is usually seen as a formal and public expression of dissatisfaction.

The French Foreign Ministry has announced that it is scheduled to convene Kushner on the 25th.

The U.S. State Department then responded by supporting kushner: "We support his remarks."

Mr. Kushner is Jewish-American and his son, Jared Kushner, is President Donald Trump's son-in-law and a former White House adviser.

Kushner was convicted of tax evasion and witness obstruction in 2005, but was pardoned during Trump's first term.

In May this year, Kushner was approved by the U.S. Senate as ambassador to France.

Solidarity with Israel

Kushner's letter is believed to highlight the deepening differences between France and the United States over the Palestinian-Israeli issue.

After France announced last month that it would recognize a Palestinian state in September, Australia, Canada and Portugal expressed similar intentions.

The move has sparked harsh criticism from the United States and Israel, and Israel has also launched a series of diplomatic counterattacks.

The Israeli Prime MinisterNetanyahuSent a strongly worded letter to Macron, accusing France of calling on the international community to recognize the Palestinian state, saying it was "adding fuel to the fire of anti-Semitism" and "rewarding Hamas for terrorism."

The Elyse ́ e Palace rejected the accusations, calling them "despicable" and "wrong".

Kushner¡¯s letter, which followed Netanyahu¡¯s letter to Macron, is believed to be a solidarity with Israel in the Israeli diplomatic conflict, aimed at increasing pressure on countries such as France before many countries recognize the Palestinian state in September.

As the conflict in Gaza continues to this day, the humanitarian catastrophe intensifies, and Macron's criticism of Netanyahu is growing, especially the accusation that Israel has caused more civilian casualties.

But Macron has also repeatedly stressed that anti-Semitism runs counter to core French values and has taken measures to protect the security of synagogues and other Jewish centers in response to anti-Semitic violence related to the Gaza conflict.

France has the largest Jewish population in Western Europe, with about 500,000 Jews, and a Muslim community that is sensitive to the plight of Palestinians in Gaza.

Both communities have seen a surge in hate crimes since Israel stepped up its military offensive in Gaza.

Expose serious differences

The diplomatic friction between France and the United States is just the latest in France's recent diplomatic disputes.

Recently, France and Italy have sparred over whether to send troops to maintain Ukraine after the war.

Italian Deputy Prime Minister Salvini mocked Macron and called on the French president to go to the front himself.

For this reason, France urgently summoned the Italian ambassador to France to protest that Salvigni's remarks were "unacceptable".

Some commentators have pointed out that, as the leader of a major European country, Macron intends to promote European strategic autonomy and enhance European influence. He has frequently spoken out in the two conflicts between Russia, Ukraine and Palestine and Israel, but due to differences in interests and opinions, it has triggered a strong backlash from the United States, Israel and other countries within Europe. Now, Italy, the United States and Israel have launched attacks against France, targeting Macron, further exposing the serious differences within the West on the Ukraine crisis and the Palestinian-Israeli issue, and the contradictions may be difficult to eliminate in the short term.
